General Counsel
The General Counsel is the chief officer of a company’s legal activities related to the business.

Cohan PLLC’s Outside General Counsel Services
Cohan PLLC’s outside general counsel services help companies from founders with an idea (who are typically pre-incorporation) to established later-stage businesses (our sweet spot is middle-market firms) grow in a sustainable way while mitigating structural and legal risk as they evolve and mature.
As outside general counsel, Cohan PLLC offers various services focused on ensuring our clients, their boards of directors, and their senior management are all acting based on legally sound principles. Cohan PLLC’s goal is to deliver comprehensive and reasoned guidance related to all legal and business issues.
Cohan PLLC provides each one of these services as if the Cohan PLLC attorney assigned to the client were a full-time employee of the Company. Cohan PLLC provides this service at approximately half the cost of a traditional general counsel. Cohan PLLC clients experience none of the typical delays of outside counsel, a fraction of the expense, and the benefit and value of a full-time General Counsel.
Similar to full-time General Counsel, the expense of Cohan PLLC’s General Counsel is a fixed cost to your emerging business, with no ticking clock counting off the billable hours. Cohan PLLC’s General Counsel is committed and available 24 hours, 7 days a week, with a guaranteed response time of 2 hours.
Cohan PLLC attorney Chasen Cohan, Esq., is filing lawsuits in Las Vegas, Nevada, on behalf of individuals who underwent hip replacement or knee replacement surgery and suffered surgery site infections as a result of the use of the 3M™ Bair Hugger™ warming blanket during surgery.
The 3M™ Bair Hugger™ is a medical device designed to help maintain a patient's body temperature during surgery. It is a forced-air warming system that blows warm air through a disposable blanket draped over the patient. The Bair Hugger system is widely used in hospitals and surgical centers during joint replacement surgeries.
Whether you have a 3M™ Bair Hugger™ lawsuit can only be determined on a case-by-case basis by the most experienced attorneys. Every state has a different statute of limitations and discovery rules that may affect your case. Additionally, these issues can be affected by medical malpractice laws in some states. Therefore, you should contact Cohan PLLC immediately to have your case evaluated immediately to determine whether you have a viable 3M™ Bair Hugger™ lawsuit.
